202 Chapter 202 - Public Opinion
After the post about the truth of the chapel’s basement appeared on the mage forum, many listeners of the Voice of Norland immediately flocked to it and started replying to the post.
‘The construction of that teleportation formation is quite low quality. Judging from photos, that teleportation formation will only be able to sustain roughly three people at once.’ Replied by: Ash-colored Owl
That said, Ash-colored Owl had an excellent popularity in the Mage Forum. With him making a reply, the number of replies to the post started increasing by two or three every couple tens of seconds.
“Would they believe in it this quickly?”
The dark elf was looking at the replies to the post. At this moment, the majority of the replies were from people voicing their suspicion.
“Just sit tight and wait. It is not only the photos that served as evidence, there are also bystander testimonies.”
More and more bystanders that knew about a portion of what happened last night began to stand forward and make allegations. Joshua quietly watched the new replies that continued to appear on the forum. Suddenly, he quietly mentioned three words…
“It has begun…”
“Begun… what?”
The dark elf’s sharp hearing captured Joshua’s murmuring. She took a glance at the demon prince standing next to her and discovered that Joshua was completely focused on the magic network’s interface and was not paying any attention to her at all.
When Joshua pointed his finger toward something like he was casting magic, the dark elf caught his movements and immediately realized something. She turned her sight to the Mage Forum.
In a short five minutes, there were already a hundred and fifty-three replies. More and more ‘bystanders’ began to stand forward to testify what happened yesterday; testify that Norland’s Law Enforcers had gone to investigate the chapel.
But, apart from that, a different sort of post, something Joshua was looking forward to even more, began to appear.

‘Why did those missionaries set up a teleportation formation beneath the chapel? Is it to transport the sculptures of their god?’ Replied by: Megra Family’s Eldest Son
She had been a member of the Holy Church’s Heresy Tribunal before. Thus, she had witnessed first-hand the death of countless ‘heretics.’ Among them was a method of execution called ‘public condemnation.’
Even though a ‘public condemnation’ was much more merciful than being tortured in private, she was unable to forget about the scenes of every public condemnation she has witnessed.
Those public condemnations would always be in the city plaza with the greatest number of people. Those ‘heretics’ would be tied up to a wooden pole. Firewood covered with oil would be placed beneath them. The moment the torch was thrown toward the firewood, the heretic will be burned to death.
From the public condemnation, what left the deepest impression on the dark elf would be the masses. None of them showed any pity upon the heretics being burned to death. After all, the person being burned alive had nothing to do with them. Instead, they would shout phrases like ‘Burn him to death!’ excitement and enjoyment.
Those public condemnations were things that happened in tens of years past. Nowadays, the Heresy Tribunal has exercised much more restraint because public condemnations were seen as a boorish and barbarian method of execution by the various other countries.
But, seeing the replies on the mage forum, the dark elf felt like she was seeing a scene of public condemnation. The only difference was that it was the Nation of the Holy Church that was pushed onto a pile of firewoods this time around.
“I cannot imagine what would happen if you weren’t a demon.” Seeing the nonstop replies to the post, the dark elf suddenly felt a sense of terror all over her body. Even though those ‘bystanders’ were only voicing without doing, they would return to what they were doing before after posting replies and only a small portion of them were actually interested in the development of this matter, it was still the first time the dark elf saw this many people condemning the Nation of the Holy Church.
“This had nothing to do with my race. While I might be like this, I’m actually a devoted believer myself. The only difference is that what I believed in is very chaotic.”
“Chaotic?”
There were countless mages in this world that believed in many gods. But, the dark elf has never heard of someone describing their belief as ‘chaotic.’
“Blizzard, Ubisoft, Sony, Nintendo and so on… There’s a lot more that I believe in. Among them, I think the God of Order Lloyd is the only one you’ve heard of,” said Joshua.
